Greater Loss of Life than Reported.

DETROIT, Mich, June 1S.-The Even
ing Journals Charleroix special says !:
There were fifty-seven persons, passen-
gers and crew, on the Champlain, and Of
these but twenty-seven are known to be
saved. Capt. Casey says that within ten
minutes from the time the fire broke out
the boat was In flames. The captain
gave immediate orders for lowering the
life boats and started for Fisherman's
island. She grounded one mile from
shore, however, and the passengers
were forced into the water. Many,
in their excitement jumped overheard.
The books were lost. The clerk died
Of exhaustion after being picked up, and
it's doubtful If a complete list of the lost
will ever be secured. Miss Ella Wilson,
Of Petospey, says she was let down by
ropes into the water. She saw a gentle
man clasp his little son in his arms and
jump overheard. Both sank and were
not seen again.

Prohibition and Its Outcome
Editor LIGHT:

ETOulDlJlOu anu us outcome.
Editor LIGHT:
1t is formally announced by dodgers,
scattered broadcast over the city that
DIR. Carroll, Il Baptist preacher OF Waco,
will deliver a prohibition speech to-
night on the new government lot on the
north side of the Alamo plaza, and we
bespeak for him respectful hearing,
notwithstanding he is enlisted on the
wrong side Of the question at issue. Tie
hOOdlum element must not disgrace San
Antonio second time by interfering
with free speech, the corner stone Of
liberty. DIR. Carroll Is q declalmer. but
he ia not lOgioian, he is n monomaniac
or prohibition, but he is not a states
man, consequently his speech will be
only clever rehash of the substance OF
the sterOtyped defamation INDUCED in
for years by prohibition orators, and
viii not change single vote. 1t is not
at all pleasant spectacle to see minis
ters OF the gospel abandoning their pull
pits-their proper spheres of action, to
make stump speeches in favor OF prohibit
ton, since such a line of conduct Is sure
to impair the usefulness as well as lower
the dignity of the ministerial Office. 1t
viii damage the cause OF religion to
have ministers of the gospel strain every
nerve to abridge the personal liberty OF
citizens. AS prohibition Ia not incul-
Gated in the scriptures, 1t is clearly I'M
scriptural, and being so churches and
ministers have not a shadow of author
ity for endeavOring to consolidate the
votes Of church members in Its favor.
The people are not prepared to give up
their personal liberty merely to
please the preachers who are
nFnhIhlfknn hnu
clearly in the right in stubbornly resist
ing this initial encroaohment on their
personal liberties. The proposed amend
medt to the state constitution Is only the
germ OF additional infringements on per-
sOnal liberty. In process OF time, laws
will be passed forbldding beer, wine or
alcohol to be brought into Texas, and
then crusade will be begun against tc-
bacco In all Its forms. The recently
enacted Sunday laws indicate the in.
sidious attacks that will be made on the
personal liberty of citizens, when the
prohibition party fancies itself strong
enough to throw of its mask. Ii is like
ly we shall have law compelling per-
sons to attend church and to pay a GER
tain sum to the support Of preachers,
and, possibly, law requiring the rites
Of marriage to be performed by ministers
Of the gospel. No limits can be assigned
TO moral quixotism. 1t sets common
sense at defance-disdains to gather
wisdom from experience-and runs riot
in wild speoulstions and impracticable
laws. There is no nationality in this
moral quixotism.
The wIsest and best course is to vote
down prohibition with a vim, and kill 1t
while it is In the bud. But there must
be no denial Of tho right Of free speech.
The champions OF personal liberty must
not attempt to stitfle free speech by mob
violence. Let this truth be impressed
on every mind-that free speech lie
| sacred. ToNEY,
